You can't save free markets by socialism, I don't know where this idea ever came from. You save free markets by promoting free markets and sound money and balanced budgets. The whole reason why nobody wants to address the real problem is, we're spending a trillion dollars a year overseas running an empire, and it's coming to an end. This country is bankrupt, and we won't admit it. Eventually though, the dollar will go bust, and we will bring our troops home, and we will live within our means, but we ought to do it sensibly, rather than waiting for the collapse of the dollar, and this is what we're doing, we're on the verge of destroying our dollar. And then, you think we have problems now, problems then will be a lot worse, it'd look like the Weimar Republic, or a third world nation. And a lot of people know that, and they're scared to death, but we don't need to be making the problem worse by just propping up everything with more government programs, more inflation, and more helicopters, it won't work. – Ron Paul	added by Normando 2 months ago
I also made it quite clear that Socialism means equality of income or nothing, and that under socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well. – George Bernard Shaw	added by Normando 4 months ago
Instead of fostering a system that enables people to help themselves, America is now saddled with a system that destroys value, raises costs, hinders innovation and relegates millions of citizens to a life of poverty, dependency and hopelessness. This is what happens when elected officials believe that people’s lives are better run by politicians and regulators than by the people themselves. Those in power fail to see that more government means less liberty, and liberty is the essence of what it means to be American. Love of liberty is the American ideal. – Charles Koch	added by Normando 5 months ago
Now the truth of the matter is, there is nothing wrong with this country. Please. The message I want to leave with you is that there's nothing wrong with this country that the proper leadership won't cure. We've been here before. In 1787, the economy of our nation was in absolute chaos and as a consequence, they met in Philadelphia to form a new country, and when they did, they did the right things, and in the second State of the Union address, which was written at that time by George Washington, he said the foundations, the economic foundations of our nation are on such sound footing that it would have been a madman would have suspected 3 years ago. The fact is that the chaos that they're creating doesn't mean that America can or has to be in decline. It means that we need to remove them as rapidly as possible and get people that know what to do and America will continue to climb. – Bob McEwen	added by Normando 5 months ago
Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning people who ignored the principle of individual freedom, except as applied to themselves, and who were obsessed with fanatical zeal to improve the lot of mankind-in-the-mass through some pet formula of their own. The harm done by ordinary criminals, murderers, gangsters, and thieves is negligible in comparison with the agony inflicted upon human beings by the professional do-gooders, who attempt to set themselves up as gods on earth and who would ruthlessly force their views on all others - with the abiding assurance that the end justifies the means. – Henry Grady Weaver	added by Normando 5 months ago
Just because something means nothing to you doesn't mean it's not vital or important to someone else, so try to use reason when judging someone. – Ryan Pack	added by littleking 5 months ago
Poetry serves as a powerful means of communication, artistic expression, and cultural preservation. It has the ability to evoke emotions, inspire change, and bring people together through the beauty of language and shared human experiences. – Oscar Auliq-Ice	added by Auliq-Ice 7 months ago

One of the best ways to get an individual voter out to the polls is through a personal appeal. In this sense, a personal appeal means an appeal to a specific person and not people in general. – Oscar Auliq-Ice	added by Auliq-Ice 10 months ago
Americans find it intolerable that one constitutional right should have to be surrendered in order to assert another. America is the land of the free and home of the brave -- we don't need a Patriot Act, because we are already patriots. We know freedom means responsibility, but I am not sure Congress and its domestic enforcement agencies do. More often than not, new security measures enacted by the government have resulted in more violations of the citizenry than terrorists have ever done. The terrorists want us to be afraid - well, we are not afraid. Stop wasting dollars on this program - it is not good for America. To give up essential liberty for a little security provides neither. The right to be left alone from government intrusion is the beginning of all freedoms. – Eric Schaub	added by Normando 11 months ago
The fact that these stories emerge by patently legal means and are reported through interview and conversation with people who are genuine sources is a change in terms of conduct, but it does n’t suggest that there has been any change in tastes of the British public. – Professor Luckhurst	Found on New York Times 11 months ago
The Union was formed by the voluntary agreement of the states; and these, in uniting together, have not forfeited their nationality, nor have they been reduced to the condition of one and the same people. If one of the states chooses to withdraw from the compact, it would be difficult to disapprove its right of doing so, and the Federal Government would have no means of maintaining its claims directly either by force or right. – Alexis de Tocqueville	added by Normando 11 months ago
We were very very lucky children! I pray that our future generations have as much fun, in whatever way! We should at least try to leave enough water, greenery, forests .. simple means of human sustenance .. if for no other reason but to repay Nature's debt on all of us..who enjoyed nature's charity to the hilt selfishly..when it was meant for ALL human beings including children of the future .. – Rooma Mehra	added by karlhartmann_1 1 year ago
One of the things that we’ve seen year after a year since 2015, with the addition of the Special Victims Counsel program – which are attorneys that represent victims throughout the military justice process – is that victims have made it abundantly clear that they would like to help see the department hold their offenders appropriately accountable, but they’d like to do it through nonconfrontational means, and that’s essentially what we see in the percentages with administrative actions and discharges and non-judicial punishment. – Nate Galbreath	Found on CNN 1 year ago
This means that both the squadron’s state Air National Guard operational commander and current federal orders administrative commander have been suspended pending completion of the Department of the Air Force Inspector General Investigation, also, the Department of Air Force has temporarily removed these individuals’ access to classified systems and information. – Ann Stefanek	Found on CNN 1 year ago

This is essentially about what it means to live and work in a country governed by the rule of law. Everyone must play by the same rules, disney was openly and legally granted unique and special privilege – that privilege of running its own government for a time. That era has ended. – Alan Lawson	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The governor got very angry about the position that Disney took, and it seems like he’s decided to retaliate against us. … in effect, to seek to punish a company for its exercise of a constitutional right, and that just seems really wrong to me – against any company or individual, but particularly against a company that means so much to the state that you live in. – Bob Iger	Found on CNN 1 year ago

When the breast cancer mortality rate for Black women in their 40s is 27 deaths per 100,000 person-years, this means 27 out of every 100,000 Black women aged 40-49 in the US die of breast cancer during one year of follow-up. In other words, 0.027% of Black women aged 40-49 die of breast cancer each year. – Mahdi Fallah	Found on CNN 1 year ago
It is beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. It means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society. – Jiddu Krishnamurti	added by JokerGem 1 year ago
